This morning L. Snow, F. D. Richards, Brigham Young, Moses Thatcher, F. M. Lyman, H. J. Grant, J. W. Taylor, M. W. Merrill, A. H. Cannon and I met and Bros. Cannon, Grant, Richards and L. Snow spoke.

He predicted that we would pull through our financial troubles all right. The stockholders of Z.C.M.I. met and I was elected a Director for the ensuing year.

[Apostle Heber J. Grant Diary] This morning had a long chat with Moses Thatcher and he regrets the action of the Directors of ZCMI in dropping him as a member of the Executive Committee. He feels that he should have been consulted. I regret very much indeed to have Moses Feel as he does as I am sure there is nothing but the best of feelings for him with all of the Board and the only reason given for making a change was on account of his poor health. I wish that I had thought to have asked to defer the matter until he were present. He tells me that it is his intention to sell his stock and retire from the Board . . . (3)
